Copy and paste has stopped keeping the source formatting.

Hello,
I have used Firefox for a few years but just recently I have run into this problem. I copy Twitter links and send them via email using Microsoft Outlook 2003. Within the last week or so the formatting will not stay the same as the source website as before. There are some Twitter links where the hyperlink will not even be clickable like before.
I have used Internet Explorer to see if it was a Word or Outlook problem but using IE it works correctly like before.
I have done a refresh of Firefox as well as removing it completely and reinstalling fresh. I have ruled out anything else but Firefox (I believe).

I did some more digging thru your site and found someone that reverted back to a prior version of Firefox so I gave it a try.
I went from 37.X to 36.X and my problem has gone away!
I hope Firefox can address this in the future. I enjoy your product and will continue to use it.

Copy and paste has stopped working. Bad memory.

Strange new event. In some programs, so far two, if I copy some text there is now a clicking sound (new) and when I paste that text in to another place in the program then it either pastes what was in the clipboard before, in a prior paste, or it pastes a hybrid combo of what was there before and the just-copied text.
If I go to text edit, or to safari or mail program, then copy and paste work just fine. If I look at what is in the clipboard (via Finder) then the expected content is there.
Has anyone run into this odd thing?
Thanks,
Richard

Copy and paste has stopped working in all applications.

It looks as if the text is being copied, and it looks as if there is somwething to paste in the Edit dropdown window - but nothing appears when you do paste. Also, the 'Undo' button appears in the edit window, as if it has pasted...

When you say "edit window" I am going to presume you mean the Edit menu.
If you start your MacBook in Safe Mode (that is by holding down the shift key on startup and during the login process) does this change anything? This takes a little time, so don't lose patience.

Copy and paste function stopped working?

The copy and paste function stopped working on my laptop (ibook g4, OSX 10.3.9). It does not work in any applications, tried MS word, safari, preview.
How do I recover this function?
Thanks.

Hi Magno2002
Your Finder may have lost contact with the clipboard, so try this.
In ~/library/preferences locate these two files and trash them
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
To re-establish them, log out and log back in again.
You will need to reset your finder and sidebar as you had them before.

I am unable to copy and paste my password onto the Hotmail page

I live in China and their censors watch everything I do on the net. Before I had no problem when I typed in my password, which would give them access to my Hotmail. But I opened a document on my laptop and put in all new passwords for everything. It worked for a while, but Hotmail seems to have changed their page. Now when I try to copy and paste my password on the Hotmail page, nothing happens. The dropdown box has the paste on it, but it is not highlighted, so I can't just paste it in the password box. I've had to use IE which works, but every time I perform an action on a page, the page jumps as if they are taking a snapshot of what I'm doing and I really don't like it. Any suggestions?

Did you try to use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+V or Ctrl + Insert) ?

How do I copy and paste an image form the internet to Keynote. I have done this successfully in the past by selecting copy and then paste by using the right click function and now am unable to do so. I am thinking it is an outdate OS problem...not sure.

How do I copy and paste an image from the internet to Keynote. I have done so successfully in the paste by using the copy and paste right click functions but am unable to do so now. That was about a year ago that I attempted that I was able to do this. Thank you for your help.

Some images are copy-protected.
If all else fails, you can make a screen shot of the image:
With the image visible in your browser, press CMD-Shift-4 and your cursor will change to crosshairs.
Position the cross hairs at one of the corners of what you want to copy and drag to the opposite corner, then release the mouse. An copy of the image will be saved to your desktop.
You can now edit and use this image.
Be sure to respect copyrights.

How do you copy and paste a photo from the internet without a mouse?

Does anyone know how to copy and paste a photo from the internet without a mouse? I would appreciate a response asap. Thanks.

Pointing, clicking, and getting around
When you move your mouse or finger on a trackpad, you control a pointer (also known as a cursor) that moves across your screen. The pointer allows you to select and interact with the various items on your screen, including selecting files, clicking buttons, dragging sliders, and so on. Sometimes the pointer may look like a hand, a crosshair, an I-beam, or another icon, depending on what you're doing and the application you're using.
For example, if you're using Safari to view this webpage and move the pointer across it, notice that it turns into an I-beam when you move it over text or a text field. When you see this, you can usually interact with the text or field below it. When you move the pointer over a button or link, the pointer turns into a hand, letting you know that you can click on the item.
Depending on what you're doing and what application you're using, your pointer (far left) may change appearances
Clicking your mouse button or trackpad button once allows you to select the item that your pointer is on. In other words, if your pointer is on a file's icon, clicking once will select it. If the pointer is on a button or link, clicking once will activate it. If your pointer is on a text field, clicking once highlights the field and allows you to start typing text in it.
If you want to open a file, folder, or application, click your mouse button or trackpad twice. This is known as double-clicking. In general, you'll need to double-click items if you want to open them from a Finder window or the desktop. The exception to this is opening stuff from the Dock—just click once on an icon in the Dock to open it.

When I copy and paste text in facebook, the text looks fine until I hit 'share' or 'comment' to submit it. Firefox then adds indiscriminate line-feeds within the text and it looks nothing like the original text. It makes it very difficult to read and awful to look at.
This does not happen in Safari.

Same problem, 3.6.8 and previous recent versions. I never thought to try another browser but I just pasted into IE and it worked fine. I copied from Firefox to IE and it worked as well. It's just when you paste into Firefox that you get the weird line breaks.

The record has stopped because the audio format has changed

I am using a JVC 9500E onto an XP pro machine with CS3 nothing else large empty hard drive. Firewire.
Bringing a recording which was taken in one go with no changes - at 48Khz. PAL nothing odd - just continually opauses every 5-360 seconds with the error

using TAPe and Scene detect.
anyone got any ideas?

I know this is way too late and not really an answer, but I've had the same kinds of problems with PP2's capture function on 3 different decks on 2 different motherboards and 4 different OSes.
My work involves capturing and repairing problematic and old or damaged tapes of all kinds. I understand that there will be some errors (tape stretch, breakage, etc) that can't be handled by the deck/camera hardware directly, and I have no problems with having to manually cue past such issues.
But for otherwise fine and undamaged tapes, for PP2 to suddenly cease capturing, prompting to save less than 2 seconds' worth of video when all that happened was some minor tape noise or an audio frame missing is unhelpful at best and crippling otherwise. It's got to the point that PP2 is completely useless to me, when only the most pristine tapes with the most minimal of problems can be reliably captured.
Since I've used the same hardware (cables, decks) to capture 1200+ hours of "through" footage (i.e. not MiniDV tape playback) without major problems, on the current system alone, that would seem to indicate that the system/cable/deck hardware is fine, it's the problem frame handling that's broken. When 3 different deck/camera manufacturers all react to the same tape problems in the exact same way (at least, for the few common tapes that I've had the ability to test on all 3 decks, all else being equal), that doesn't seem to me to indicate a manufacturer or model problem at all.
However, Adobe's support response in each case (audio drops or minor tape dropouts) is "get the camera repaired by an authorised repairer". (It would seem that I'm an example of a particularly unlucky customer, buying 3 brand-new top-of-the-line 'duds' from 3 different manufacturers in as many years! What are the odds? I should buy a Lotto ticket...) That kind of support response is a real pity, since using the basic transport functionality outside PP2 seems to work perfectly for all but the most severe tape problems, but only using anything except PP2.
To try to tell me that this is a deck hardware failure each time I've raised the same type of problem is disingenuous at best. But that's another story.
The workaround (and yes, there is one!) is to use anything else except Premiere Pro 2.0 for any MiniDV capture operation. It's much easier to use VLC or Nero to perform flawed tape capture, and then use the otherwise sensational editing prowess of PP2 to fix the problems later.
Pity.

How can I copy and paste from Google "Keep"? Whenever i try, the copied text doesn't get copied on the Firefox clipboard, it copies to my 'default' clipboard.

I can't get the Firefox clipboard to appear when i try to copy from Google Keep. Please help, thanks.

Hi again LvScience:
(jsoulless40's advice (thanks js40!) of trying the desktop site in Firefox when using the Keep web app is fine but i think you are using the Keep App right, not the web app version right?)
Thanks for the device info: "Android OS is 4.1.2 on a Samsung Rugby Pro". I don't have that tablet but I do have two android samsung tablets running 4.x
I should have asked before:
'''What exact steps where you following when you copied and pasted into a "newly opened document"'''
My steps were (on my Samsung Tab S 10 running 4.4.2):
# in Firefox selected and then copied some text
# switched to Google's Keep app
# '''successfully pasted the text in Keep into the "Add quick note", also tapped on the new note icon and pasted the text into a new note'''

Is it possible to keep the outline auto formatting from Pages when copying and pasting that outline to the Presenter Notes on Keynote?

I have been using my iPad for my notes, but I want to start using it as a remote for my macbook. When I copy and paste the notes into the Presenter Notes section of Keynote on the macbook, it unformatted. Any bullet point formatting that I do on my macbook is not showing on my iPad's Remote view Presenter Notes. Is there a way to create consistency here that does not involved formatting each one separately?

Use Drag and Drop
Have both applications open side by side
select the text in Pages
with the mouse drag the text from pages into presenter Notes pane in Keynote

Has copy and paste been broken in the latest iOS in Numbers

Just tried copying and pasting in the latest version of Numbers on a V3 iPad. The only time I could get it to work, was by copying into the same table. And then only once. I've been using this for months, but not since the latest update. Anyone else have this problem?

Have you seen this thread over in the iWork for iOS discussions:

Copy and Paste Have Stopped Working!

All of a sudden, it's like a switch has been thrown: I can't copy and paste between applications, or even within an application. I've tried to use Edit->Copy and Edit->Paste, rubber-banding and dragging, and even Apple-C and Apple-V, all to no avail.
(When I do Apple-C, the Edit item in the menu bar goes blue, but then when I do Apple-V, I get the "boop" sound.) Was doing this fine until a day or so ago.

Hi James
Alright, Open text edit, type a few words,
With your mouse select some text (which overlays a blue strip), press the Command key down and tap C, to copy it. (Keep your eye on the blue flash Edit),
Release both keys.
Check to see if it has copied to the clipboard by
Clicking the Finder icon in the Dock, in the Finder menuitem Edit
select Show Clipboard
Is the copied text there?
